<p>Can someone please explain the math placement exam system at Pitt? I basically have one question: I've taken Calc I and II in High School, and would like to place out of Calc I (possibly Calc II). I don't, however, want to take AP exams. Does Pitt offer a placement test to place out of Calc I/II? I understand that only AP scores will transfer credit, but I don't really care about that, I am just wondering about the placement.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Why don’t you want to take the AP exams? You’ll earn college credit for them which is a big advantage. Also, I don’t think Pitt will allow you to place out of Calc I/II unless you take the AP tests. There are math placement tests, but only Algebra and Trig as far as I’ve seen. What is your intended major?</p>

<p>The only way to place out is through APs. There isn’t any other system. You might as well take the AP (it’s just 1 test) and get the credit and clear up some space in your schedule. It’s definitely worth it.</p>
